Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate how emotional experience factors affect the obligationrelated commitment. The emotional experience factors consist of positive factor, job satisfaction and negative
factor, and emotional exhaustion from the study of Wong and Tay (2010); both facets have been studied with
affective commitment but yet lack of study about normative commitment. Affective and normative
commitments are both components of organizational commitment; while affective commitment refers to the
intention of keeping the position because of the desire but not by any other attachment, whereas normative
commitment is defined as staying for the reasons related to obligation. Also, by applying withdrawal construct
of validation of job-hopping behavior, a connection was constructed between normative commitment and the
two separated motives of job-hopping behavior, advance motive and escape motive (Lake et al., 2017).
Design/methodology/approach – To achieve such objectives, quantitative research is implicated using
the primary data collected from online and offline surveys from employees who are currently working in
many information technology (IT)-related companies in Ho Chi Minh City. As for analyzing tactic and
method, SmartPLS software is applied to ensure the reliability and validity of the factors as well as
confirming the significant and developing the hypotheses from the proposed construct.
Findings – The findings reveal the significant affect from workplace escape motive that leads to the behavior
of job hop, but not from the career enhancement. The result also revealed the effect of indebted obligation when
most of the employees maintain the low level of normative commitment and the proper increase in emotional
exhaustion and job satisfaction can help to improve the normative commitment of such employees.
Originality/value – This study makes its contribution and recommendations to human resource
management in IT industry.
